Patent EP-0549165-A2 (EP)
Inventor: UTZ HUBERT
IPC: H03K17/00
Filed: 1992-12-03
Abstract: A power conserving integrated circuit (20) is coupled to its external power supply (28) only in response to an external event sensed by closure of a switch (30). An initial power connection is made by a transistor (34) in the circuit (22) in response to the external event. After the initial power connection, the transistor (34) remains conducting so as to couple the power supply (28) to the integrated circuit (22) for a predetermined period of time sufficient for a function (40) to be executed by the integrated circuit. The initial power connection is detected by an activity monitor (37) which in response resets a down counter (38) that, through a connection (39) to the transistor (34), holds the transistor (34) in its conducting state until the counter (38) finishes counting clock pulses. The connection is then terminated and is not re-initiated until another external event. Therefore, power is consumed only when necessary, thereby preserving the power source (28).

Abstract: The present invention provides an image-recording process wherein the voltage applied between a photosensitive member 2 and electrostatic information recording medium 1 is put off after the lapse of a given time from the closing of an exposure shutter 13. It is thus possible to move all the generated carriers onto electrostatic information recording medium 1 and accumulate them as charges in an amount corresponding to the quantity of exposure irrespective of a voltage shutter time. It is also possible to electrically charge electrostatic information recording medium 1 or the photosensitive member 2 in advance and put on-off an electrical connection between the electrodes of the photosensitive member 2 and electrostatic information recording medium to control image exposure, thereby dispensing with any external high-voltage power source and obtaining a positive image. In addition, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of inverse discharge and prevent the resulting image from falling into disorder by separating the photosensitive member 2 and electrostatic information recording mudium 1 from each other, while voltage remains applied between the electrodes thereof, after an electrostatic image has been formed on the electrostatic information recording medium 1, and putting off the voltage impressed. 
     A discharge gap can be easily kept constant by making a spacer 3 integral with the photosensitive member or electrostatic information recording medium;it is possible to achieve high-speed image pickup and prevent discharge breakdown which may otherwise be induced through the spacer. The spacer region is formed by removing the electrode of at least one of the photosensitive member and electrostatic information recording medium; it is possible to eliminate the cause of discharge breakdown occurring through the space. A decrease in the electrode area can result in a decrease in the capacitance of the overall system, making it possible to relieve the amount of load born by an external circuit.

Abstract: Un système de surveillance (1) de l'état de pneumatiques comprend des modules émetteurs de roue (2) propres à chaque roue d'un véhicule. Ces émetteurs peuvent être montés dans une roue et comportent des capteurs (9, 10) qui détectent la pression et la température internes et la rotation d'un pneumatique. Les signaux provenant des capteurs sont traités par un processeur (9) produisant des données qui sont émises par un émetteur de radiofréquences (23). Ces données émises sont acompagnées d'autres données correspondant à un code d'identité de module et sont reçues par un module récepteur (5, 6, 7) où elles sont analysées pour déterminer l'état du pneumatique. Le récepteur comporte un dispositif d'entrée exploitable par l'utilisateur qui peut fixer des limites de seuil concernant la température et/ou la pression de façon qu'une alarme soit déclenchée si un seuil est franchi. Chaque module émetteur de roue comporte une alimentation électrique et est conçu de façon que celle-ci n'intervienne que pendant la détection et l'émission de données. Les intervalles séparant des émissions de données peuvent varier selon qu'une rotation de la roue a été détectée ou non.

Abstract: An apparatus and method suitable for use as an electronic remote locating device. The method including synchronizing an unprogrammed receiver with a transmitter so that the unprogrammed receiver responds only to the transmitter. The transmitter continuously increments a storage element when electrical power is initially applied to the transmitter and halts incrementing of the storage element when a first event is detected. Next, the transmitter saves the value of the storage element in memory as the unique identification code. The transmitter then transmits the identification code for a first predetermined length of time at a preselected frequency. The receiver monitors the preselected frequency searching for a received identification code for a predetermined period of time after electrical power is applied to the receiver. The receiver then verifies the validity of the received identification code and determines whether a prior identification code exists in the memory of the receiver. The receiver saves the received identification code in memory if the prior identification code was not found in the memory and halts the monitoring. The receiver then periodically monitors the preselected frequency range and compares the received identification code to the prior identification code. The receiver issues an indication to the user if the received identification code equals the prior identification code.

Abstract: In a throttle control system having two throttle 
opening sensors (4A and 4B), when one opening degree sensor 
being used in a PID feedback control becomes abnormal, the use 
of sensor output for throttle feedback control is switched 
from the abnormal one to normal one. Which of the throttle 
opening degree sensors (4A and 4B) has become abnormal is 
determined by monitoring the difference between the output 
values of the throttle opening degree sensors (4A and 4B) and 
the intensity of the electric current flowing to a DC motor 
(12) which drives a throttle valve (3). Further, when the 
abnormality in the another sensor (4B) being newly used is 
determined, the feedback control is continued based on the 
estimation of the throttle opening degree calculated by the 
output of the sensor (4B) before the malfunction thereof.

Abstract: An optical disk is provided with grooves, which have first and second regions. A first side wall of a groove in the first region is wabbled, while a second side wall of the groove, which is opposite to the wabbled side wall in the first region, is wabbled in the second region. The tracking of a light beam is carried out with respect to the first and second regions, so that first amplitude of a first wabble signal and second amplitude of a second wabble signal, which are contained in a tracking error signal, are obtained. The first and second amplitude are compared, and a correction signal which varies depending on the difference in the amplitude is given to the tracking error signal, so that the first and the second amplitude are corrected to be substantially equal. Thus, it is possible to correct a deviation caused by an error in conditioning optical elements, an aberration of optical elements, and a change due to aging.
